A Japanese-owned automotive tanner in Brazil, Midori Atlântica Brasil, has laid off half of the 130 workers at one of its tanneries and will close the facility down in July owing to a downturn in demand from automotive customers in Japan following the earthquake and tsunami there in March. The unit, located in Uberaba, a town in the west of the state of Minas Gerais, is part of a group of tanneries the company runs in Brazil.
Midori Atlântica Brasil has been in operation since 1972. Its other facilities are in Guarulhos and Penápolis in São Paulo, and Cambuí in Minas Gerais.
